Technician-Integration Engineering III

Overview

Blue Origin seeks to enable millions of people to live and work in space for the benefit of Earth. We are developing reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems with a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight.

This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which includes Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. You will be responsible for the assembly and development of rocket engine components in areas such as valves, combustion devices, turbo machinery, avionics, and test. You will also drive improvements to design, maintenance, and refurbishment of rocket engine components, identify and deploy methods to improve quality, reduce cost, and optimize build sequences and schedules.

You will support DFMA and PFMEA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test and accelerate rocket engine development. This position supports safe and repeatable human spaceflight and offers an opportunity to contribute to the history of space exploration.

We are looking for someone to apply technical expertise, leadership, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. A passion for our mission is required.

• Precision assembly of rocket engine components: combustion devices, valves, turbo machinery, avionics, test
• Root cause and diagnostic component disassembly, repair, and work
• Hydraulic testing for valve actuation
• Nitrogen and helium leak testing
• Preparation for environmental testing
• Hydro proof structural testing of components
• Detailed component inspection to tolerances of 0.0001 in
• Creating and maintaining strict cleanliness requirements (liquid/gaseous oxygen compatibility)
• Support the design, procurement, installation, and integration of custom manufacturing and test equipment
• Help maintain inventory of tooling and equipment
• Safely work with hazardous systems, chemicals, and high-pressure operations
• Define how to prepare hardware for test, qualification, and flight
• Identify, develop, and deploy new manufacturing methods (or refine existing) to improve quality, reduce cost, and optimize build schedule
• Support DFMA and PFMEA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build and test
• Support the development of manufacturing work instructions to clearly define processes: receiving inspection, fabrication, assembly, test, integration, and refurbishment
• Identify non-conformances and escapes, support and deploy corrective actions

• At least 2 years of direct valve, turbo machinery, or engine assembly experience
• Mastery of precision and tight tolerance assembly
• Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings
• Extensive experience reading and understanding specifications and detailed work instructions
• Proven experience with developing new processes
• Strong written, personal, technical, and software skills (CAD, Scheduling, Issue Tracking, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.)
• Ability to communicate clearly at all levels of the organization
• Physical Requirements:
• Climb ladders and stairs
• Lift and carry 50 lbs. for limited durations
• Work schedule may vary and depend on hardware and testing
• Remain flexible by working overtime and weekends (when necessary)
• Able and willing to travel for the first 6-12 months for training
